Harvey's room

Private room on the private top floor of a large house, a group house for mostly students at the adjacent University of Cincinnati. Not exclusively for students, but it’s females on the upper floors with males on the lower floors, and this (therefore female) room is on the (topmost) upper floor.

FEATURES: — Free utilities, including wireless broadband, cable, and media like HBO.

— Private parking space.

— Included Food: There’s a lot of included food ingredients, see the list below.

— Furnished like an AirBnB.

— Pets Stay Free: No deposits or monthly surcharge, and no application process.

— Free Airport Pickup Available. Especially for people flying in from overseas.

— No deposit required. No written lease required.

— The Cincinnati Zoo is incredibly close by, as in you can see the famous and historic dome of the Elephant House from our backyard. We’ve had a zoo-employed housemate living here, plus I have the platinum Zoo pass, in part so I can offer free guest admission to housemates and up to three of their friends. Bring the family!

ROOM DESCRIPTION: It’s the private top third floor of the house, bedroom is well over two hundred square feet, the bathroom well over a hundred square feet, and the entryway and stairs another hundred square feet. The room has a Full size bed with metal headboard and three-inch memory foam mattress topper. It has a four foot wide desk and a five by three foot farmhouse style dining table and chairs, plus a sleeper sofa. A full kitchenette including toaster, microwave and electric kettle. Medium sized fridge with separate freezer compartment, a good enough fridge for a modest separate apartment.

ABOUT THE CURRENT HOUSEMATES: The prospective Summer housemate would be sharing the upper floors with a UC graduate from Mumbai, who now works as a software engineer North of town. Next is a school counselor who specializes in working with high school kids on their after school jobs programs. Admittedly they’re also from New Jersey, but it’s barely noticeable really, and mostly a non-issue. Then a recent UC graduate who walks to work in genetics research at Children’s Hospital and lives car-free here. Then half the basement is rented out by a local artist and Senior at Miami of Ohio, for both living and studio space.

FOOD: (WHAT’S ON THE MENU). …Bulk starches, got em. The lineup has been carefully adjusted over several years, and is likely to stay at– popping corn, rice, mashed potato flakes, black beans, small elbow pasta, millet, grits, rolled oats.

…PBandJ sure, and it’s real-sugar strawberry jam, but in addition to peanut butter (both creamy and super-chunk) there’s also cashew and almond butter.

…Not coffee, coffee beans, and a dozen tea varieties. Other beverages chilling in the fridge include filtered alkaline water, iced tea and electrolyte beverages.

…A variety of cooking oils that also happen to provide a variety of fatty acids as now recommended. Not available anywhere else, possibly the UC cafeteria to some extent.

…Comprehensive cooking supplies means all of the half dozen varieties of vinegar, fifty spices and fifty spice mixes, none expired.

…Dairy whole milk, Vanilla Rice Milk, or Chocolate Almond Milk. I should mention here that one trick of mine for making this work is just before the sell-by date on milk I help use it up by making protein and peanut butter powder shakes with it. Also I’ll eat a wrinkled green pepper, a softening banana at times, but we never have that problem with tomatoes. This would be the point of why there’s food here, I could charge more for this, but it helps me out that the de facto ‘leftover’ food is free for my consumption.

…Bread is Dave’s Killer Bread or equivalent (i.e. not Wonder Bread), numerous varieties, Paleo/Keto bread (very popular), and some dessert breads stored in the freezer(?), like chocolate chip vanilla brioche, apple strudel and raisin to be exact.

… I only have a few animal products included with free food, but they’re the quite versatile milk, eggs, whipped cream cheese and spreadable butter.

… Water is a two-gallon reservoir on a stand, and the multi-stage filter includes a stage that adds minerals for taste and it has an alkaline stage to keep up with the latest trends.

… Produce and vegetables stocked constantly anymore, plus some nuts and seeds. Now that inflation has struck, this has proven to be the most popular amenity here apart from internet.
